I'm just gonna go find a cash machine.

They're gonna kill that poor woman, man!

Fresno State drops to 1-2 after a 75-73 nailbiter of a loss to Cal. That was a heartbreaker.

Best of luck to Flex, and best of luck to the gang taking over the tournament, it's gonna be a long haul. I ran the college football tournament last year, and I was planning on doing it again this year, but I took a hard look at what it cost me, in terms of time spent with the family and being way ...

Don't you love those holiday deadlines, Flex?

By the way, Fresno State opened the 2012-13 season today with an unlikely 99-48 win over Texas. I went first in all three, with unlimited reinforcements. There was nothing poor Cazmart could do on his home court.

Sweet. I'm not running the football tourney this year, so I can play from the beginning.

Fresno State Bulldogs
Portugal, Flat, Chained, Sunny

Sounds fun. I'm in.

Ha! Yeah, I did throw it together at the last minute. I have plans to announce it better this year. Anyway, good luck to everyone who makes the dance. I know I'm not even close to NIT consideration.

Yes. Yes it was.

This is a good point. I try for a system that produces both the wide-open blowouts and the defensive slugfests.

I'll think about the extra touchdown, but there tends to already be a huge difference when you win all four. The field goal basically ensures that you win the game if you take three of ...

Welcome to the College Football FBS offseason thread, a place to refine my college football tournament by offering an open forum to the players of the tournament. Consider yourselves an advisory competition committee.

Now that teams are starting to announce their schedules for the 2012 season, it's ...

I'll play. I love this map.

LSU's basketball team entered tonight's showdown against #7 Tennessee a beaten, down-on-its luck team. A kicked dog. But the Tigers walked out of Pete Maravich Center as heroes after a 76-71 upset of the Volunteers.

"We've struggled this season, there's no doubt about that," LSU interim coach ...

LSU is in as well.

LSU is 4-6 since former Fresno State coach AmphibiousRodent took over as interim coach. That may not sound so hot, but LSU was 2-10 when the switch was made, and AR's run includes a 78-69 win over then-No. 2 Arkansas. Geaux Tigers!

About halfway through the season I made some predictions on the conference races . Let's see how I did.

ACC
Rodent's pick: North Carolina over Boston College
Reality: Florida State over North Carolina

Big-12
Rodent's pick: Iowa State
Reality: Iowa State

Big East
Rodent's pick: West Virginia ...

Top-seeded Brigham Young University stays perfect with a 32-20 win in the championship game. Congrats to ViperOverLord for not only taking the championship, but doing so in style with a perfect 16-0 season.

Congrats are also in order for Rgreffenius, who guided Iowa State to the championship game ...

Yeah, I'll look for a way to avoid those. Maybe I'll reserve the Classic map for neutral field games.

The semifinals have been sent out. I'll update the bracket and post game links when I get home.

Great season, agent. I'll post the final RPI rankings after the championship.

The quarterfinals have been sent out. The bracket in the first post has been updated.

#10 Colorado State earns revenge against #7 Wyoming with a 20-15 victory in the playoffs. CSU next travels to #2 Michigan State.

Only one first-round game remains, and #1 Brigham Young looks to have the game in hand against 16-seed Mississippi State.

We have our first upset of the playoffs as #11 Middle Tennessee State upsets #6 Buffalo 44-25. MTSU will face #3 Iowa State in the quarterfinals.

I think it would be kind of strange to go the whole season with that map and then change it for the playoffs. I'll leave it the same.

By the way, which map would you guys prefer for the championship - Classic or USA?

Two more teams are through to the quarterfinals: #3 Iowa State defeated 14-seed West Virginia 40-26, and #2 Michigan State held on to beat 15-seed Florida State by a field goal, 24-21.
